How about Rafa Benitez?

[Olly]

No way, the more useless players he signed, the more control he wanted over the budget, plus he was always extending his own contract to help make him unsackable. He should eternally be recognised as the standard oxford dictionary definition of mercenary.

What.....are people saying no to a manager that won the Champions league...REALLY...we are a P*ss pot little club.. and should really be happy to be assoc with rafa...

but no..lets get mark hughes who has won what exactly....?

Cos he hasn't won anything we shouldn't try and get him

[qprbrisbanedivision]

Not that mate...

now is the time to change our club for the better, lets get someone who plays football the QPR way.on the ground and with style...

Mark Hughes doesnt and never has.....

Dont get me wrong, if we get him then i'm right behind him, just think we can do better IMO!!

[paulmqpr]

So Mark Hughes didn't play good football at man city?

[qprbrisbanedivision]

TBH i dont remember.......

did he ?

I've never associated Mark Huges witht he style of football we used to play.....

tell me i'm wrong by all means, jsy personally dont recall it...if he did then why aint he still there?

[rodders]

qpr style? lets not get down the west ham road. we havent had a style since the 70;s long ball to les long ball to furlong dont make us out to be something we aint who would you rather manage? some little west london club or a club a so say big north east club? mark failed at fulham hughes? why is he so good all of a sudden. why not keegan southgate deserve a try? robson? all we will get is a manager who has failed elsewhere . brilliant

Rafa would be class, he is a massive name! has good contacts would attract a high calibre players and would be a massive sign of intent! he won the champions league, ueffa cup, carling cup and has liverpool in the top four for most of the time he was there! what more could you want from a manager, how any one could turn there nose up to that tyoe of pedigree is beyond me!

[Kirill]

Rafa would not want to come to us, unfortunately.
Would be glad to be proven wrong, of course.

Rafa is an avid student of the English game. If TF interviewed him he'd be blown away by Rafa's knowledge of our strengths/weaknesses and his list of players he'd want and how he'd use them.
I dunno what owners look for when interviewing candidates; I'd hope it's hard evidence of technical/coaching nous.... not just "charisma", popularity and reputation.
